Engine oil Kendall or RAVENOL
Ravenol 0w 20 if ya can afford it get a can of the flush and let it drain overnight
go for Ravenol VMO SAE 5W-40.
I have that engine in my car and I've been obsessed about finding the best lubricant from day 1 of purchase... it seems like in general most engines in the 2000-2014 era, but especially om642, like a thicker oil, 5w40-0w40, with ravenol vmo being the only oil in there that had incredibly low metals in it by far, even at a 10-15k km oil sampling.
Daca vrei un full syntetic adevarat pune Ravenol VMP merg cu el de mai bine de 15 ani la multe masini pe care le-am avut
i personally use ravenol now, but was a motul and shell user before.
Ravenol based on review videos on FB. Tumahimik makina & the tone ng engine nagiba mas smoother again based on videos lang sa FB not actual experience.
When it comes to oil, Ravenol is really good and is also Made in Germany, some even recommend it over VW or BorgWarner, as it is full synthetic and does not break down/sludge up as fast.
I have used Ravenol USVO DXG 5 - 30. Comes back in most of the testing I see done as excellent oil. I only drive 5k miles year here in Minnesota taking the car off the road by October 1st and not back until at least April 1st, sometimes the 15th, and once in a great while as late as May 1 based on the weather. I change the oil once a year prior to putting it away for the winter. The oil comes after 5,000 mlles out almost the same honey color it went in as.
Ran Kendall 15x40 for a number of years, ran Shell T4 till it got oddly hard to find, currently running Delo 15w40
I was planning to but returned it. It was listed as a GL4 oil on the website but when it arrived, there wasn’t a mention of the GL4 on the bottle. Had a look at a technical spec sheet of the product online and it isn’t a GL4 oil indeed. Ravenol is quality oil however
